JOB, CHAP. 22. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Is not thy wickedness great, and thine iniquity infinite? For thou hast taken a pledge of thy Brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing. Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast with holden bread from the hungry. But as for the mighty man he had the earth, and the honourable man dwelt in it. Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

IN this Context Eliphaz intends to show the true reason why God reproved Job, and entered into judgment with him; it was not (as was said at the 4th Verse) either because God was afraid of him, or because he feared God, but it was for his wickedness, as Eliphaz (though mistaken) concluded against him; as if he had said, God doth not punish thee because he is afraid of thee, but because he loveth justice, and hateth iniquity, Is not thy wickedness great, and thine iniquity infinite? That's the scope of these words, which we may fitly call Job's Indictment, and this Indictment is laid down first in general words, vers. 5. Is not thy wickedness great, and thine iniquity infinite? And here Job is not charged with wickedness and iniquity barely, but under a two-fold aggravation.
